About the book
This book takes readers on a journey into wayfinding and leading, discussing principles of wayfinding philosophy, giving examples of how these have been applied in businesses and communities, and providing action points for readers to practise and reflect on the skills they are learning. Central to this wayfinding approach is understanding what is really going on – by discerning the detail and seeing the whole. The authors contend that just as a wayfinder navigator has a deep understanding of themselves, their crew, their waka and the environment; this ancient wisdom can be applied to modern wayfinders and holds insights that can make a difference for leaders, their teams and organisations and for the future of society.
